The New York Times — founded 1851. The Washington Post — founded 1877. The Salina Journal — founded 1871. You may disagree with their commentary pages, but they haven't endured for 150 years by printing fake news. The proof is that they print corrections if any part of a story is shown to be inaccurate. They strive for balanced reporting. It's good that we can count on them for the facts. Interestingly, The National Enquirer, which started in 1957 and is an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump, has been taken to court and lost for printing fake news.
